2 The Stat' Salm, Ot Water Districts South of Salem Consolidate Salem Heights water district became consolidated with four surrounding districts in elections which took place Monday night. The election and resultant con solidation, however, are still de pendent on the approval of the Marion county court. Marion County Commissioner Roy Rice said Tuesday that the court would merely can-'ass the votes to determine if the election was carried out properly and that the consolidation was virtually as- sured. Central water district, one of the four annexed areas, voted unanimously to come into the fold. As petitions, circulated among the other three districts, had carried;' all the property own ers' signatures, they were not required to vote. They are Vista Acres, part of Dickson's addition and a district extending from Liberty road up Browning avenue almost to Bel crest Memorial park., Salem Heights, with only one dissenting vote, also approved the annexa tion. Purpose of the consolidation, a spokesman for the districts said Tuesday, is greater property valu ation with an eventual bond issue to be floated to supply water to the entire district from the city - of Salem. The district recently consolidated- receives water from Salem Heights, which in turn is furnished by Vista Heights water district. Harvey W. Fasching was re elected Monday for a three-year term as commissioner of the Sa lem Heights water district. Other commission members are John Bianeombe, chairman, and A. W. Blankenship.
